Strengths: Beautiful Crank, Shifts great! Stiff, LightWeaknesses: Just that it cracked, might be a bad design due to how fast the thin outer piece of the hollow chainring crackedBottom Line: This crank looks awesome and functions really well! It came stock on my bike and I loved everything about it until about a week ago. I noticed an issue when shifting up so I decided to take it off the bike and clean it up/regrease the BB area. Upon taking it off I noticed a pretty big problem..one of the shift pins had pulled through the outer ring and could wiggle in/out. Looking closer I noticed that the area around the shift pin was cracked. Although this was the only shift pin out of the four that had pulled through, 2 others had warped the area of the chainring surrounding them and had partially cracked the metal. I took photos of the shift pins before bringing it to my shop for warranty and after zooming in on the shift pins in the photos...you can clearly see that the metal shift pin has fatigued way past what it should have after only 900 miles. There were cracks in the metal all over the shift pin and I guess the best way to describe it would be to say that it looked like a piece of dried clay left out or crackled mud.

Strengths: Much lighter than Rival crank it replaced. There is noticeable change in power transmission to the bike. Out of saddle climbing is smoother and less tiring. Shifting is smoother and faster, particularly front.Weaknesses: PriceBottom Line: Stiff. light, much improved shifting and almost complete lack of flex comparing to the Rival compact crank I used before.

Strengths: Lightweight, stiff and the good old Shimano reliability and smooth shifting qualities.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: From the get go, shifting was better and much less flex at the crank. Very stiff and also was about 300 grams lighter than my last crank. Price quoted above was including the BB :) I also changed my chain to a dura ace chain (highly recommended).
